Who can help?

Most people think that flooding can never happen to them. Well it can.

If you are one of the 5 million people in England and Wales who live or work in a floodplain your home or business is more likely to be flooded than it is to catch fire. You may have a burglar alarm and the chances are you know what to do in the event of a fire. But are you and your family prepared for a flood?
